A CMD utility to externally re-path 3ds Max files

0 votes

This is a simple tool I wrote in IronPython and compiled to a usable .exe program for re-pathing or examining 3ds Max (.max and .mat) files without actually running 3ds Max.

It's pretty useful for batch re-pathing before rendering on render farms, for example. Or just to view what type of files are being linked in your .max and .mat scene files and material libraries, respectively.

With the Material Layer Interface (MLI) you can create Material Layers and passes in 3D Studio Max and it’s easy to handle them!

Just create the layers and pick the objects. Assign materials to the objects and feel free to use different renderer or render settings for every single layer.

Time-Ranger

Sets up time-ranges in Max and embeds it to the max file.

Very useful tool when you have multiple time-ranges in your single animation file. Mostly used for games - but can be used for many other purposes as well.

Sometimes it's useful to have many animations of a character in one file - so its start and end positions match between the different animations. TimeRanger lets you choose which section of the animation to show in the timeline.
